Question for Mike Ray. Years ago you tried Rust-oleum marine paint on a 26 0r 28 I think.
How did it last?

Wayne, I got your email. I want to try to get out there this week and wash the bow to see how well its held up. I'll try to get some pictures for you.

Painted mine with Rust-oleum Topside, three years later holding up well.

Using Rust-oleum? Don't laugh; that's a great product that I've used for years.

Thank you captains. I've learned to be cheap from Fast Jeff.
Sounds like the way to go for me.

Looking to get top and hull painted on my 1988 express hardtop. I'm in Muskegon, Mi. Anyone know a place that does this?
Thanks.

Did we ever get an update on the Rustoleum Top Side? I used some on my swim platform and then used some for my boot stripe. Swim platform held up just fine and boot stripe did mostly good. Both applications suffered from the same application misery, the paint does no like going on thick.....so your relegated to multiple very thin applications. This boils down to more clean up, longer project duration, etc. Quite honestly, not a big deal at all....just an observation. I ended up using PPG for the hull eventually and very happy with that result. Before that, the Rustoleum topside blue that I used for the boot stripe would not hold up around the bow area. Totally understandable and not hating on Rustoleum at all.
